COSMO-RS Exploration of Highly CO₂-Selective Hydrogen-Bonded Binary Liquid Absorbents under Humid Conditions: Role of Trace Ionic Species.

ABSTRACT: It is critical to improve carbon capture efficiency while reducing costs to popularize carbon capture and storage. Considering the green chemistry and engineering objectives, this study theoretically explores the CO₂ absorption capacity of 1,533,528 hydrogen-bonded mixtures, i.e., deep eutectic solvents in a broad sense. Exhaustive statistical thermodynamic calculations well explain the experimental reports; it is confirmed that deep eutectic solvents containing ionic compounds have higher CO₂ selective absorption capacity than those composed of non-ionic species. Quantitative evaluation of hydrogen-bonding interaction also predicts that the capacity is higher when the ionic compounds work as hydrogen-bonding donors. This is because the trace ionic species weaken the hydrogen-bonding network in the mixtures to improve CO₂ physisorption.

Design of Ionic Liquids for Fluorinated Gas Absorption: COSMO-RS Selection and Solubility Experiments.

Project description:In recent years, the fight against climate change and the mitigation of the impact of fluorinated gases (F-gases) on the atmosphere is a global concern. Development of technologies that help to efficiently separate and recycle hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) at the end of the refrigeration and air conditioning equipment life is a priority. The technological development is important to stimulate the F-gas capture, specifically difluoromethane (R-32) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a), due to their high global warming potential. In this work, the COSMO-RS method is used to analyze the solute-solvent interactions and to determine Henry's constants of R-32 and R-134a in more than 600 ionic liquids. The three most performant ionic liquids were selected on the basis of COSMO-RS calculations, and F-gas absorption equilibrium isotherms were measured using gravimetric and volumetric methods. Experimental results are in good agreement with COSMO-RS predictions, with the ionic liquid tributyl(ethyl)phosphonium diethyl phosphate, [P2444][C2C2PO4], being the salt presenting the highest absorption capacities in molar and mass units compared to salts previously tested. The other two ionic liquids selected, trihexyltetradecylphosphonium glycinate, [P66614][C2NO2], and trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium 2-cyano-pyrrole, [P66614][CNPyr], may be competitive as far as their absorption capacities are concerned. Future works will be guided on evaluating the performance of these ionic liquids at an industrial scale by means of process simulations, in order to elucidate the role in process efficiency of other relevant absorbent properties such as viscosity, molar weight, or specific heat.

Stability of cellulase in ionic liquids: correlations between enzyme activity and COSMO-RS descriptors.

Project description:Ionic liquids (ILs) are effective in pretreating cellulose for enhanced enzymatic saccharification, however ILs can inactivate cellulases. To guide the selection of ILs, the activity of cellulase was correlated with COSMO-RS calculations and descriptors of ILs including hydrogen bond (H-bond) basicity/acidity, polarity and ion size. Trends were deduced using an anion-series and a cation-series of ionic liquids in aqueous solutions. The activity in the cation-series was best correlated with the size of varied cations, whereas the activity in the anion-series showed a pronounced correlation to H-bond basicity and polarity of different anions. COSMO-RS was further used to predict the solubility of cellulose in ILs, which was correlated with cellulase activity on IL-pretreated cellulose. The best correlations were found between the enzyme activity in the anion-series ILs and the logarithmic activity coefficients, the H-bond energy, H-bond basicity and polarizability, underlining that the anion plays a crucial role in cellulose dissolution.

Screening ionic liquids for dissolving hemicellulose by COSMO-RS based on the selective model.

Project description:The utilization of biomass resources has attracted more and more attention due to the consumption of non-renewable resources. Compared with cellulose and lignin, hemicellulose has been less studied. Some ionic liquids (ILs) have been proved to be excellent solvents for lignocellulosic pretreatment. However, screening of more efficient ILs is difficult due to numerous possible ILs. Computational chemistry has been proved effective in solvent screening, but a precise model is indispensable. In this work, we focused on building several appropriate models and selected the most suitable one. According to the structure of hemicellulose, six hemicellulose models were constructed and the mid-dimer of the xylan chain hemicellulose (MDXC) model was proved to be the best compared with the reported experimental results. Based on the MDXC model, 1368 ILs were screened to evaluate their ability to dissolve hemicellulose by Conductor-like Screening Model for Real Solvents (COSMO-RS). The activity coefficient (γ), excess enthalpy (HE), and σ-profile indicated that the hydrogen-bond (H-bond) played a vital role in the dissolution of hemicellulose. Anions played a more critical role than cations, where small anions with H-bond acceptor groups could enhance the molecular interactions with hemicellulose. This work provided a thermodynamic understanding of hemicellulose and IL solvent systems. It highlights the importance of building appropriate solute models, which may be necessary to predict of the other thermodynamic properties in the future.

MoDoop: An Automated Computational Approach for COSMO-RS Prediction of Biopolymer Solubilities in Ionic Liquids.

Project description:An automated computational framework (MoDoop) was developed to predict the biopolymer solubilities in ionic liquids (ILs) on the basis of conductor-like screening model for real solvents calculations of two thermodynamic properties: logarithmic activity coefficient (ln γ) at infinite dilution and excess enthalpy (H E) of mixture. The calculation was based on the optimized two-dimensional structures of biopolymer models and ILs by searching the lowest-energy conformer and optimizing molecular geometry. Three lignin models together with one IL dataset were used to evaluate the prediction ability of the developed method. The evaluation results show that ln γ is a more reliable property to predict lignin solubilities in ILs and the p-coumaryl alcohol model is considered as the best model to represent lignin molecules. The developed MoDoop approach is efficient for rapid in silico screening of suitable ionic liquids to dissolve biopolymers.

Predicting pKa for proteins using COSMO-RS.

Project description:We have used the COSMO-RS implicit solvation method to calculate the equilibrium constants, pKa, for deprotonation of the acidic residues of the ovomucoid inhibitor protein, OMTKY3. The root mean square error for comparison with experimental data is only 0.5 pH units and the maximum error 0.8 pH units. The results show that the accuracy of pKa prediction using COSMO-RS is as good for large biomolecules as it is for smaller inorganic and organic acids and that the method compares very well to previous pKa predictions of the OMTKY3 protein using Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics. Our approach works well for systems of about 1000 atoms or less, which makes it useful for small proteins as well as for investigating portions of larger proteins such as active sites in enzymes.

Predicting the solubility of CO2 and N2 in ionic liquids based on COSMO-RS and machine learning.

Project description:As ionic liquids (ILs) continue to be prepared, there is a growing need to develop theoretical methods for predicting the properties of ILs, such as gas solubility. In this work, different strategies were employed to obtain the solubility of CO2 and N2, where a conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) was used as the basis. First, experimental data on the solubility of CO2 and N2 in ILs were collected. Then, the solubility of CO2 and N2 in ILs was predicted using COSMO-RS based on the structures of cations, anions, and gases. To further improve the performance of COSMO-RS, two options were used, i.e., the polynomial expression to correct the COSMO-RS results and the combination of COSMO-RS and machine learning algorithms (eXtreme Gradient Boosting, XGBoost) to develop a hybrid model. The results show that the COSMO-RS with correction can significantly improve the prediction of CO2 solubility, and the corresponding average absolute relative deviation (AARD) is decreased from 43.4% to 11.9%. In contrast, such an option cannot improve that of the N2 dataset. Instead, the results obtained from coupling machine learning algorithms with the COSMO-RS model agree well with the experimental results, with an AARD of 0.94% for the solubility of CO2 and an average absolute deviation (AAD) of 0.15% for the solubility of N2.

Thermodynamics and Intermolecular Interactions of Nicotinamide in Neat and Binary Solutions: Experimental Measurements and COSMO-RS Concentration Dependent Reactions Investigations.

Project description:In this study, the temperature-dependent solubility of nicotinamide (niacin) was measured in six neat solvents and five aqueous-organic binary mixtures (methanol, 1,4-dioxane, acetonitrile, DMSO and DMF). It was discovered that the selected set of organic solvents offer all sorts of solvent effects, including co-solvent, synergistic, and anti-solvent features, enabling flexible tuning of niacin solubility. In addition, differential scanning calorimetry was used to characterize the fusion thermodynamics of nicotinamide. In particular, the heat capacity change upon melting was measured. The experimental data were interpreted by means of COSMO-RS-DARE (conductor-like screening model for realistic solvation-dimerization, aggregation, and reaction extension) for concentration dependent reactions. The solute-solute and solute-solvent intermolecular interactions were found to be significant in all of the studied systems, which was proven by the computed mutual affinity of the components at the saturated conditions. The values of the Gibbs free energies of pair formation were derived at an advanced level of theory (MP2), including corrections for electron correlation and zero point vibrational energy (ZPE). In all of the studied systems the self-association of nicotinamide was found to be a predominant intermolecular complex, irrespective of the temperature and composition of the binary system. The application of the COSMO-RS-DARE approach led to a perfect match between the computed and measured solubility data, by optimizing the parameter of intermolecular interactions.

COSMO-RS-Based Screening of Antisolvents for the Separation of Sugars from Ionic Liquids: Experimental and Molecular Dynamic Simulations.

Project description:The use of ionic liquids (ILs) in the biorefinery process has been increasing for the past few decades. In biorefinery, the separation process with respect to sugars needs to be evaluated for an efficient process design. Therefore, the present work aims to investigate the separation of sugars and ILs by means of a precipitation process using an antisolvent method. For this purpose, both theoretical and experimental studies were conducted. Initially, the conductor-like screening model for real solvents model was employed to screen the suitable antisolvents for the separation of sugars from the ILs. From the screening study, dichloromethane (DCM) and 1,2-dichloroethane were found to be the better antisolvents for the separation process. With the selected antisolvents, precipitation experiments were conducted for the mixtures involving four different sugars and three ILs at different experimental conditions. The process variables such as different antisolvents, sugars, ILs, antisolvent-IL molar ratios, and temperatures were examined in terms of their effect on sugar removal and IL recovery. DCM was found to be the most suitable antisolvent in this study with 90-99% of sugar removal and 80-98% of IL recovery. Further, molecular dynamics simulations were adopted to understand the structural properties of carbohydrates with ILs and antisolvents via interaction energies, hydrogen bonding, and coordination numbers. It was observed that the interaction energy between the sugars and IL plays a critical role in the removal of sugar. Higher the interaction energy between the sugars and IL, lower is the sugar removal.

Effect of Water on Phenol Separation from Model Oil with Ionic Liquids Based on COSMO-RS Calculation and Experimental Study.

Project description:Ionic liquids (ILs) are widely used in the extraction of phenolic compounds from low-temperature coal tar (LTCT). However, both ILs and LTCT contain a certain amount of water. The existence of water may have a remarkable impact on the phenol separation performance of ILs with different structures. In this work, the capacity and selectivity for m-cresol, as well as the solubility of cumene and dodecane in different IL-H2O mixtures, were firstly calculated by the conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) at infinite dilution. The calculation covers ILs with different anionic and anionic structures and different water contents. To explore the effect of water in IL on separation performance, 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium acetate ([C2mim][Ac]) was selected as the representative IL, and then the molecular interactions between the [C2mim][Ac]-H2O mixture solvent and solute (including m-cresol, cumene, and dodecane) were analyzed by COSMO-RS. The results indicated that both water and m-cresol could form hydrogen bonds with [C2mim][Ac]. The competition between them leads to decreasing separation performance for m-cresol of the [C2mim][Ac]-H2O mixture with increasing water content. Moreover, through analyses of m-cresol extraction efficiency, distribution coefficient, selectivity, and entrainment of cumene and dodecane, the experimental results confirmed that the presence of water in [C2mim][Ac] had a negative effect on the separation of m-cresol. The viscosity and UV-vis spectra of the [C2mim][Ac]-H2O mixture were also measured. Water in ILs should be removed as much as possible to ensure a better dephenolization effect and avoid phenol containing wastewater.

Hydrogen-Bonded Complexes in Binary Mixture of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids with Organic Solvents.

Project description:Though local structures in ionic liquids are dominated by strong Coulomb forces, directional hydrogen bonds can also influence the physicochemical properties of imidazolium-based ionic liquids. In particular, the C-2 position of the imidazolium cation is acidic and can bind with suitable hydrogen bond acceptor sites of molecular solvents dissolved in imidazolium-based ionic liquids. In this report, we identify hydrogen-bonded microenvironments of the model ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl) trifluorophosphate, and the changes that occur when molecular solvents are dissolved in it by using a C-D infrared reporter at the C-2 position of the cation. Our linear and nonlinear infrared experiments, along with computational studies, indicate that the molecular solvent dimethyl sulfoxide can form strong hydrogen-bonded dimers with the cation of the ionic liquid at the C-2 position. In contrast, acetone, which is also a hydrogen bond acceptor similar to dimethyl sulfoxide, does not show evidence of cation-solvent hydrogen-bonded conformers at the C-2 position. The outcome of our study on a broad scale strengthens the importance of cation-solute interactions in ionic liquids.
